No. qemu needs to supply *both* the 32-bit and 64-bit range to its guest, and therefore needs to request both from the host. Or rather, it *might* need to supply both. It will supply just the 32-bit range by default, but the guest can request the 64-bit range and/or remove and resize the 32-bit range via hypercall interfaces. Vaguely recent Linux guests certainly will request the 64-bit range in addition to the default 32-bit range. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
